If that’s not enough to make your mind do back flips, maybe this will help: this bungled process might just cost NCAA president Mark Emmert his job.

When asked Monday during a conference call if he should bear responsibility for the NCAA’s mishandling of the case, Emmert said, “I report to the executive committee. If they believe action should be taken toward me, they are free to do that.”

In a 52-page report filed by an outside law firm to investigate the bungled Miami case, it was revealed that Jim Isch, the NCAA’s No. 2 man, knew of the $20,000 budget increase for investigating Miami—but didn’t know what it was for.

If that’s not enough, attorney Ken Wainstein of Cadwalader, Wickersham and Taft—the group hired by the NCAA to investigate the process—at one point interrupted the conference call to declare this of Roe Lache: “nothing of what happened between 2011-12 … indicated a lack of integrity on her part.”

The same report says Roe Lache, in emails, asked for an extra $20,000 to the budget to investigate Miami—but didn’t give specific reasons why the budget needed to be increased. That, of course, gave Isch, No. 2 to Emmert, a convenient excuse for not knowing the money was being used to circumvent NCAA bylaws.

At this point, what we know from the Cadwalader investigation is that Emmert’s No. 2 man knew of the budget increase and the entire legal staff knew of the plan to circumvent NCAA bylaws. And Emmert apparently didn’t.

If Emmert didn’t know about the increase in budget for the most prominent rogue booster case in NCAA history, it’s a damning reflection on his ability to organize and lead.

“I wouldn’t characterize this as a case of corruption,” Emmert said. “It was a case of bad judgment and bad decisions made. It doesn’t diminish the ability of the NCAA to govern itself.”

Meanwhile, back where this all began, Emmert said the association hopes to wrap up the Miami case “as quickly as possible.”
